Its a moving target!
I tested the upgrade happilly as per this thread
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...uxcnc-on-debian-9-13

No sooner than I typed that, it seems a new version was pushed to Sid
linuxcnc_2.9.0~pre0+git20220906.02744cdef6-1

From Debian 12, one simple solutoin would be to follow Johns web site on the thread above and dist-upgrade to Debian 13.
Linuxcnc should also be upgraded and it should include 7i96s support
 
Anyway at least Debian has got a current version of 2.9 but it takes a while to filter down to Debian 12

seems like some of this is getting worked out.
Seb is getting and pushing updates to Debian pretty well now.

Thanks Seb. and all others.

Well, apparently there were some changes in hal_glib.py that had to do with errors and status and stuff.
Since I have customized my hal_glib.py,  those changed caused problems.  
Got is all sorted with a few more diff's and edits.

But now I can't get  qtDesigner to run.
No clue why?   little help please?????
see the image attached, and the log file attached.

thanks

I don't know this code but I suspect you have the wrong type defined in class _GStat with your customisations

nah, haven't messed with anything like that.......

just realized that since i updated from debian 10  to 12, I haven't updated the qt5 designer thing.
I will try doing the full reinstall again.  can't hurt...
I hope
 

Following an upgrade to bookworm today, Try installing Bookworm (Debian 12) and type
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace-dev

There is a script to install qtvcp as part of linuxcnc. Try running

Unfortunately it's not enough to go on.
My feeling is it's a pyqt.property mismatch.
Which would dovetail with the work we were trying to do for newer pyqt libraries.

Chris,
you're probably right.
I ran the install script Rod suggested.   Designer still not running.
Got a bit longer output.  But same errors.
see the attached image file.

I figure you're working on it....have to eventually.........
let me know if I can help testing...
 

I currently have no systems that use the newer pyqt libraries and this problem doesn't show up for me.
Have you done custom edits to the widget too?

unfortunately it may be some time before I set up a new system.

Chris

It may be in that script but does help?
